Alvaro Carpe in qualifying for the Moto3 World Championship on Saturday at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas. Riding a Red Bull KTM Ajo machine on Pirelli Control tires, Carpe turned in a lap time of 2:12.107. Not only was he good enough to lead the 25-rider field, but he was good enough to break his own 2026 all-time lap record of 2:13.190 this morning in FP2.
Casey O’Gorman was the best remaining on the SIC58 Squadra Corse Honda with a 2:12.519 and Valentin Perrone took the third and final spot on the front row with a 2:12.526 on his Red Bull KTM Tech3 machine.
The two-row qualifiers included Honda Team Asia’s Veda Pratama (2:12.813), Leopard Racing’s Guido Pini (2:12.837) and step-up MTA’s Joel Esteban (2:12.869).
